Al-Masad


تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ ﴿1﴾

May the hands of Abu Lahab perish, and he ˹himself˺ perish!


مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ ﴿2﴾

Neither his wealth nor ˹worldly˺ gains will benefit him.


سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ ﴿3﴾

He will burn in a flaming Fire,


وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ ﴿4﴾

and ˹so will˺ his wife, the carrier of ˹thorny˺ kindling,1


فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ ﴿5﴾

around her neck will be a rope of palm-fibre.1
